WELCOME TO ALBERTA GAMBLERS ANONYMOUS
News and Updates
WELCOME
Alberta Gamblers Anonymous welcomes you to our website. We are a nonprofit, self-supporting fellowship of recovering compulsive gamblers who meet regularly to help each other recover from the disease of compulsive gambling. Our guides are the 12 Steps of Recovery and the 12 Steps of Unity of Gamblers Anonymous.
If you are new to Gamblers Anonymous, or are just visiting this site, and you are not sure if you are a compulsive gambler, or if you have a gambling problem, please take the time to ask yourself these 20 Questions, which will give you an indication if Gamblers Anonymous is for you.
Our geographical area covers all of Alberta from the windmills of Southern Alberta near the community of Lethbridge to the oilfields of Northern Alberta near Fort McMurray and all points in between.
We are proud members of the world wide fellowship of GA and gratefully support the International Service Office of Gamblers Anonymous.
This website is presented for the sole purpose of informational awareness, both for our local membership and visitors on the World Wide Web, whether they are members of Gamblers Anonymous or visitors seeking information. It is funded solely by contributions from members of our local fellowship of GA, through spiritual guidance of the principle of group conscience at the group and Intergroup level.
Are You Ready to Add Service Work to Your Recovery?

FORUM
Alberta Gamblers Anonymous offers a forum for Compulsive Gamblers to visit and share their experience, strength and hope. We have visitors from around the world, and invite you to join us and share some tools of recovery. There is a link at the top of this page, that says FORUM, and once you click on this link, you will be asked to register, before viewing any postings.
The forum is offered as an additional tool in your recovery. It is not intended to replace your regular face to face meetings, that the Gamblers Anonymous Fellowship was based on. The forum is especially helpful to those members who don't live close to any face to face meetings. Please join us and help another brother/sister in their recovery!!
